I liked the concept, and had some fun. I don't mind the player shooting the direction I'm facing, but I would like the player to almost instantly face the direction I walk, as right now it rotates too slowly.

lots of impressive details for 48 hours! im not quite sure how you crammed so many mechanics in such short time. Quite difficult. I, Player638 perished to the cold dark

KenneymariNice concept! Initially it was a lot of information to take in at once, seeing zombies rushing at your house. Screen becoming red. Eventually i understood you can switch items using the scroll wheel, and then noticed you can attack using an item.
What would make the game more interesting eventually might be that you "build up" for a freezing night. So you gather stuff to build your defense. Instead of a continuous flow of mobs.
So like, during daytime you are 50% faster with everything, and you can see it becoming darker. Once its dark you are slow, and get damage by being in the dark. In order for you to survive and your house, you would have to reinforce it. Anyway, these are just random thoughts, maybe it sounds interesting for you.
Good work on the jam!

Chop KnightThis is a fun concept, I have never seen zombie/survival/crafting put into an arcade form, with some more time you could evolve this a lot!
My main feedback is just the character controller. It was super hard to aim due to the way the character rotated and moved at the same time. I would either make the A/D buttons just rotate your character and not move them, or just make it so you can aim with the mouse.

Grow Your BoatNotes:
- The music surprised me as it didn’t turn on until after a few minutes of playing and it kept getting louder.
- Feels strange to use the mouse to shoot when you can’t use it for aiming.
- Something like Q and E for switching inventory and Space for shooting would have felt smoother to play
I really enjoy zombie defense games so this was enjoyable to play even with the notes above.
Great job on submitting this game to the Jam
